Lightened-Up Deviled Eggs

When I was making John his Aunt Margaret's Deviled Eggs, I got the idea that I could lighten it up a bit. I have so much fun experimenting with recipes this way, and I've had really good experiences with it, too.This recipe was no different! With a couple minor changes to Aunt Margaret's delicious recipe, I managed to pack in a bit more protein and lessen the fat, all without compromising the taste.

I'd love to hear what you think of this lightened up version of such a traditional and popular appetizer. Happy entertaining!
